There still seems to be a lot of people out there who believe they can never become proficient at mathematics. This really holds a lot of people back and it shouldn’t.

Once you have the motivation to learn something, because it solves an immediate problem you have, you will learn it.

I don't think i can't be, i just know i have a lot to learn. My understanding of math is criminally small (despite enjoying the subject). Furthermore, ML seems to be on the advanced side of things.. at least, for those like myself.

I'm going to put in the work to learn it proper, but i suspect it will take me a fair bit of time. I've got many years to make up for.

Luckily there are many institutions online to aid in fundamental education like this :)
